Left on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns, three newborn knuckleheads grow up to be finger-poking, nyuk-nyuking janitors named Larry (Sean Hayes), Curly (Will Sasso) and Moe (Chris Diamantopoulos). When they learn that financial problems will soon force the only home they've ever known to close, the trio sets out to raise $830,000 in one month. Out in the world for the very first time, the three innocent bumblers become embroiled in a murder plot and find stardom on a TV reality show.

Critics Consensus

While nowhere near as painful as it could have been, The Three Stooges fails to add fresh laughs to the Stooges' inestimable cinematic legacy.

I always loved watching these three amazing actors. Now this movie has reminded all of them again. Wow. What a great movie. I along with my kids watch it pretty much everyday and enjoy and laugh every time as if it is the first time. Hats off to all the cast specially to Larry Curly and Moe for their outstanding performances. We all are anxiously waiting for the sequel. Hope it is going to be hit the market soon.

so that the previous fans of The Three Stooges criticize me And that, but this adaptation did honor to its previous series, I say that this film may be a bad adaptation But seriously, it does honor the previous series and it could also be like a way to honor the previous actors of The Three Stooges since they had died the day they made the production of the film

Admittedly this movie did started off well keeping everything true to The Three Stooges formula but the movie went off the rails by adding-in too many plots that are either rushed, forced or there for story effect.

Irish Times

The architects behind There's Something About Mary and Kingpin make merry with the poking and thumping, but are ultimately far too fond of their comic heroes to make them or us truly squirm.

This could have been a truly awful summation of the work of such minor legends but it works surprisingly well.

Keith & the Movies

Even with their tremendous efforts, this still felt like a really good Elvis impersonator. They look like Elvis. They sound like Elvis. They shake like Elvis. But they aren’t Elvis.

If this weren't a movie, the three stars would certainly make a striking Vegas show.
